Welcome to the Original Pick-your-Own Strawberry Farm near Hartbeespoort Dam

If you have missed it, our 2017 strawberry picking season has ended. We will be open for picking again near the end of September 2018.

It's been a pretty good strawberry season this year, with record amounts of strawberries being produced by our plants this year.

Now the hard work and preparation for next year kicks into high gear. As you may have read, we have started with preparations for our 2018 season already. Bags have been placed under the new runners, and a lot have rooted really well. From now until the end of next week we will be working flat out to ensure as many plants are rooted in these bags as possible. While the majority of the field staff are seeing to that, others will be ploughing and planting a huge variety of beans. These beans will give nitrogen back into the soil whilst they grow, and then they will be ploughed in, along with a good amount of Epsom Salts, egg shells and banana peels. All of these add natural goodness to the soil, all to help stimulate the strawberry plants, and assist with production of fruit next year.

This year we will be planting in beans amongst the strawberry plants, along with herbs such as basil, borage, and coriander - not forgetting that we will also include marigolds to the mix too, as they work wonders with a lot of the bugs out there.

So, enough chit-chat, there is a lot of work to be done.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us this season, to pick and eat our sumptuous strawberries, we hope to #seeyouinthefields next year for an even better picking experience.
